In today’s lesson, I’ll give you 10 important tips to do well and to get a higher score on the speaking section of your IELTS exam, or actually on any oral speaking test where you’re sitting with a live examiner.

在今日的课程里，我将给你十个重要提示，用以在你的雅思考试口语有些获得高分，或答使用在任何有现场考官的口语考试中。

Okay?

理解吗？

So these tips don’t apply actually to the TOEFL where your answers are recorded, but it’s for any English exam where you’re sitting with a real examiner.

所以这些提示不适用于录制答案的托福考试，可是适用于任何你与真实考官面临面的英语查验。

Okay?

理解吗？

Now, the IELTS, of course, the speaking section of the IELTS test is about 11 or 14 minutes long, has three different sections, and so on.

如今，当然说说雅思考试，雅思考试的口语有些大约长度是11到14分钟，有三个不一样有些。

And the IELTS is an exam which is a. . .

雅思是一种…

It’s an English proficiency exam.

它是英语流利度查验。

It’s used for immigration purposes, for example, to Canada and Australia.

可以用来移民，比方说加拿大，澳大利亚。

It’s used for admission to universities where English is the medium of instruction, and it’s also used for professional certification purposes.

可以用在英语作为教育用语的大学入学考试，可以用在作业证书考试。

So lots and lots of people, millions of people do the IELTS exam.

所以许许多多人，数百万人都参加雅思考试。

And if you’re one of them, these speaking tips will really help you.

假定你是其间一员，这些英语口语技巧对你非常有用。

They’re general tips; they’re not about the specific sections.

这些是广泛性技巧，并不关于特定领域。

They apply to all sections of the speaking test.

适用于所以口语考试有些。

Okay?

理解吗？

Let’s get started.

咱们初步吧。

So, the first point is: during your speaking test, be formal.

第一点：考试时刻，行为正式。

By that, I mean treat it like a job interview.

我说的是，像作业面试相同对待它。

And just as in a job interview, you’ll be on your best behaviour and so on, behave that way.

作业面试时分，你会有最佳言行行为，这儿相同。

Don’t take it very casually.

不要很随意。

Okay?

好吗？

Take it seriously and be formal.

严厉对待，行为正式稳当。

Next, give a full answer whenever possible.

下一个，任何时分，尽可以给出无缺的答案。

Now, remember and just think about it: you have about 11 to 15 minutes to use the best English that you know and that you’ve studied all your life.

如今，要记住想想：你只需11到15分钟用来展示你所具有的和你所学过的最佳的英语技能。

Okay?

理解吗？

So, obviously, you want to try to show off during your English test.

所以，清楚明晰，英语查验时刻你要试着展示出来。

So, when I say give a full answer, I mean, in the first section when they ask you some questions about you, about your family, about your background, if they say, for example: “Where are you from?” Don’t just say: “Tokyo”, because that’s just a one word answer.

所以，我说的无缺的答复指的是，在第一有些，当他们提一些关于你的、关于你的家庭，关于你的布景的疑问，假定他们说，比方说：“你从哪里来”，不要说：“东京”，因为那只需一个词。

Try, as much as possible, to give sentences.

试着多说一点，说个语句。

Give full sentences.

给一个无缺的语句。

All right?

好吗？

Full answer.

无缺的答复。

So that you can show when you use the full sentence that you know grammar, you know vocabulary, and all these other things.

所以，当你用无缺的语句，你晓得其间语法、单词还有其他的东西时分，你可以展示出来。

So, instead of just saying: “Tokyo.”

不要说：“东京”。

Say: “I’m from Tokyo, the capital of Japan.” Or: “I’m from the capital of Japan, Tokyo.” Now, you’ve given a lot more information.

而要说：“我来自东京，日本的首都。”或许说：“我来自日本首都，东京。”如今你晓得了吧。

So, obviously, you get much more marks if you kept doing that throughout.

所以，显着，假定你可以将此贯穿一向，你可以得到更高的分数。

Right?

对吗？

Give full answers, using sentences, not just words.

给出无缺答复，运用语句，不是词。

Next: be polite.

下一个：有礼貌。

What we mean by that, for example, if the examiner asks you something and you didn’t understand, it’s okay.

啥意思，举个比方，假定考官问你一些事，你不理解，没联络。

Just ask for the explanation in a polite way.

礼貌地恳求给出说明。

Don’t just say: “What?” Or: “Sorry?”

不要说：“啥？”或许说“不好心思？”

Say: “Excuse me? Could you please repeat that?” Because that’s also using English, and that’s what they want to know: can you use English?

说：“对不住，您可以重复一下吗？”因为那也是英语运用，那就是他们想晓得的；你能否运用英语。

And by being polite, you’re not just showing that you know the language, but also that you know the culture of the language, which is being polite.

文质彬彬一些，你不只需展示你晓得言语，而且也要展示其间的文明，这才有礼貌。

Okay?

理解吗？

So remember to do that.

所以谨记。

Next, maintain good posture.

下一个，坚持好的仪态。

Why do I put that?

我为何那么说？

Nobody’s filming you.

没人给你录像。

Right?

对吧？

So, why do you have to maintain good posture?

所以，你为何要坚持好的仪态？

Because your posture actually affects your. . .

因为你的仪态影响你…

The way you speak.

你的说话方法。

It affects your confidence, the confidence with which you speak, it affects the way your voice is projected.

它影响你的自傲，你说话时分的自傲，影响你的声响发声。

So you want to make sure that you don’t, for example, lean on your hand when you’re speaking or anything like that.

所以，你要保证，比方，不会在说话时分，用手托着头，或许其他比方此类。

Okay?

好吗?

Make sure that you sit straight and don’t put your hand anywhere near your face, even if you’re nervous, because that will affect the quality of your voice and the way it’s projected.

你要坐直，手不要接近脸，即便你很严峻。因为那会影响你的声响音质，影响发声。

Okay?

好吗？

Next.

下一个。

Number five: speak clearly.

第五：表达清楚。

Now, what I mean by this is: don’t worry too much about your accent.

我的意思是：不要忧虑口音。

Everyone has an accent, and as long as you do your best to enunciate the words clearly, that’s all you can do.

每人都有口音，只需你能尽可以字词发音清楚，这就行了。

If you need to improve your pronunciation, work on that before your exam.

假定你需要改进发音，考试之前就处置。

If there are some very specific pronunciation errors that you tend to make or that people from your country tend to make, then obviously, work on those beforehand.

假定有一些具体的发音差错，你有或许你们国人倾向有，清楚明晰，提前处置。

For example, if you are a Spanish speaker and you say: “Jess”, instead of: “Yes”, then that’s a big mistake that you want to correct well before you come to the exam.

举例，假定你说西语，你说“Jess”，而没说“Yes”,那么那是一个你需要在考试前就纠正的大的差错。

So, work on those pronunciation issues before, and then afterwards, don’t worry about your accent, just speak as clearly as you can.

所以，提前处置那些发音疑问，此后，不必忧虑你的口音，表达理解就可以。

Okay?

好吗？

Next: use descriptive words.

下一个：运用描绘性词语。

By that, I mean, again, remember, we were supposed to show off, use the best English you have?

我的意思是，记住，咱们大约展示自个最佳的英语技能？

So, don’t use boring words, don’t use overly used words, like: “good”, “bad”, “okay”, “nice”.

所以，不要运用令人厌烦的词语，也不要用乱用的词汇，比方”good”, “bad”, “okay”, “nice”。

Use exciting words, use dynamic words to show that you have a rich vocabulary to express yourself in English.

运用一些令人觉得眼前一亮的词，改变的词汇来闪现你有丰厚的词汇量可以用英语表达自个。

Don’t just say: “Good”.

不要只是说“good”。

Say. . .

说…

Or don’t just say: “happy”, say: “thrilled”.

或许不要只是说:“happy”,而说：“thrilled”。

Don’t just say: “sad”, you can say: “depressed”.

不要说:“sad”,你可以说：“depressed”。

Use a more advanced word if you know it and if you’re sure of the meaning.

假定你晓得，你也断定其意，那就用愈加高档的词汇。

But most of all, try to stay away from the overly used words like: “good”, “bad”, “okay”, “nice”.

最重要的是，远离乱用的词语，比方”good”, “bad”, “okay”, “nice”。

All right?

行吗？

Next: speak up.

下一个：大声说。

Speak up means make sure you speak loudly enough to be heard and also recorded.

大声说意味着保证你的声响满足大，可以听道，也可以录到。

Because during the IELTS, for example, you are judged by that examiner,

因为在雅思考试中，举个比方，考官会对你做出评价。

and also you are recorded so that another examiner is going to listen to what you said during your English test.

而且你的声响也会录到，这样另一个考官会复听你英语考试时分说了啥。

So speak clearly enough that the recording will allow you to be heard properly.

声响要满足清楚，这样录音才干听到你说的。

Okay?

理解吗？

Next: keep a steady pace.

下一个：语速平稳。

That means don’t speak too fast, and don’t speak too slowly.

意思是不要说得太快，也不要说的太慢。

If you’re not sure how fast you should speak, speak slower than you think is necessary because that way it’s much more likely that you will be understood.

假定你不断定语速大约多快，那就比你认为的更慢一些，这样别人非常好理解你的说话。

Okay?

好吗？

Next: explain any foreign words that you use as part of your answer.

下一个：说明你答案中的外语词汇。

What do I mean by that, and why should you be using foreign words?

我说的意思是啥，为啥你要用外语词汇？

Well, foreign words can also be the names of cities, for example.

So if they ask you where you’re from-right? -and

you need to use the name of a city or a town, which is not common knowledge, like London or Paris, it may be not as common and it may not be so easy to understand.

因为外语词汇可所以一些城市的名字，比方：假定他们问你从哪里来，你要用到城市或乡镇的名字，那并不为人所常知，比方伦敦或许巴黎，它甚至不简略理解。

So, instead of saying. . . For example, suppose you came. . .

所以，不要说，比方，假定你来自…

Suppose you’re from India and you come from a city called Hyderabad.

假定你来自印度，来自一个叫做海得拉巴的城市。

Now, Hyderabad is a bit of a mouthful, it’s an unfamiliar word.

海得拉巴有些拗口，不是常见的词。

So, what you could do to make it easier and to get higher marks is instead of just saying: “I come from Hyderabad”, and the examiner might think: “What did he say? What does that mean? I don’t understand.” So, they. . .

所以，为使之非常好了解且得到更高的分数，你不能直说：“我来自海得拉巴”，那么考官就会想：?谒瞪叮可兑馑迹课也焕斫狻！彼裕?..

Another. . .

另外一个…

A way to get around that is to say: “I come from a city in the southern part of India called Hyderabad.”

Now, what you’ve done is you’ve given an explanation of what you’re going to say so the listener knows that there is a word coming,

应对的方法大约说：“我来自印度南部一个叫做海得拉巴的城市”，如今，你所做的就是说明你所要表达的，这样听者晓得这是一个词。

and even if I don’t know it, I know what it means or what it refers to.

即便我不晓得这个词，可我晓得其意思或所指。

So it will sound, in fact, like you speak better English, because you have taken the listener into account.

这听起来，实际上，如同你讲的英语非常好，因为你思考到了听者感触。

Okay?

好吗？

Next: stay on topic.

下一个：不要脱题。

So, even though I said speak in sentences, don’t use too many sentences to answer any one question.

所以，即便我说的是语句，答复同一个疑问时分也不要运用太多语句。

So that. . .

那么……

Because if you do that, then the examiner will think that you don’t understand the question.

因为假定你这么做，考官就会认为你不了解疑问。

You want to make sure that you answer the question and don’t go way beyond that.

你需要保证你答复了疑问，且不要跑题。

Okay?

好吗？

They always have enough questions to ask you.

他们有满足多的疑问问你。

Don’t worry.

不要忧虑。

Next: don’t use slang.

下一个：不要运用俚语。

Again, you want to use your best English.

再说一遍，你要运用你的最佳英语技能。

And slang can even be things like: “kids”.

俚语可所以这些，比方：“kids”。

A lot of my students don’t realize that you should be using the word: “children” instead of “kids”.

我许多的学生都没有知道到你大约运用“children”不要用“kids”。

Or you should use the word: “items” instead of “things”, “stuff”.

或许你大约用这个词：“item”而不是“things”，“stuff”。

This is all slang.

这就是俚语。

Okay?

理解吗？

Slang is not just bad language, but also this kind of casual language.

俚语不只指粗鄙的言语，也是很随意的言语。

Right?

不是吗？

You don’t want to use that kind of language in your English test or on your IELTS speaking test.

英语考试中，或许你的雅思考试口语有些，不要用那些言语。

Use the best English that you know.

用你晓得的最佳的英语表达。

And last of all: don’t memorize answers.

最终：不要死记硬背答案。

A lot of students read model answers, and it’s good to do that.

许多学生学习模板答案，这极好。

It gives you an idea of how to answer.

这让你晓得如何做答。

But what you should do from that is to take ideas about how to structure your answer, take some vocabulary, take some expressions, but don’t try to memorize the answer because it’s going to sound very artificial.

可是，你大约从中学习如何组织自个的答案，如何运用词汇，如何运用表达，但不要死记硬背，因为听起来很生硬。

And if you forget, it’s going to completely fall apart.

假定你忘了，就会完全溃散。

And also, the examiners can. . . Are quite experienced; they can usually tell if you’re suddenly giving like a little speech.

所以，考官可以。他们经历丰厚；可以区分出你是不是俄然在做一个迷你演说。

They’ll know that’s not you, because you also answered, you know, 15 other questions, and you didn’t sound like that.

他们晓得那不是你，因为你答复的时分，你晓得，其他15个疑问时分，你不是那个姿势。

And all of a sudden, you give this little mini speech, and it doesn’t sound good, and they might not give you marks for that at all because it’s not you speaking; you just memorized something.

俄然，你给了一个迷你讲演，这听起来很不好，他们或许因而不给你分数，因为你不是在说，而是背诵。

They don’t want to know what you can memorize.

他们不是要晓得你可以背诵。

They want to know what you can say when you’re using the language by itself in a natural way.

他们想晓得你在说话时，可以表达的很天然。

Okay?

理解吗？

So learn how to benefit from those kind of model answers, but don’t memorize.

所以从模板中学习，而不要背诵。

Okay?

可以吗？

And I assure you that if you do a lot of these things or all of these things, you’re definitely going to get a much higher score on your IELTS speaking test, and also on any oral English exam.

我保证，假定你可以做到这些，或做到悉数以上所说，你定会在雅思口语考试，或许其他英语口语考试中得到高分。

Okay?

理解吗？

Thanks for watching, and good luck with your IELTS or any English exam.

谢谢观看，祝你雅思考试或许其他任何英语考试获得好成果。

Bye for now.
